We spoke w/ 'Up Here' songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez about 'Frozen 3' and writing songs about ordinary people.
Written by Steven Levenson and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, with original songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the Hulu original musical romantic comedy series Up Here follows the love story of Lindsay and Miguel , who must overcome their own insecurities, anxieties and fears, and ignore the voices inside their heads, if they’re going to find happiness with each other.
ROBERT LOPEZ: Oh, my gosh, it’s so funny that you say that because that’s exactly where this idea was born. When I was in the BMI workshop, long ago as a student, they were teaching us what stories make good musicals, and they always said, “Set them in the long ago and far away because everybody knows that people in the modern day don’t break out into song and it will strain credibility, if they do.
We know you guys as a duo, and when you’re so good at what you do, to the outsider, it seems like that must be effortless. Did your songwriting partnership just always work for you, or are you always changing and adapting and trying to shake things up? How different does it look now, compared to when you started doing it?
I absolutely love Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes in this. I just think they’re both so spectacular. When you spend so much time thinking about something like this, before you get to do it, what’s it like to actually see the visual of what these characters would be and how they would bring these songs to life?
